The busiest of the three beach towns: the pier, Beach Boulevard's bar blocks, and the rooms that turn over from surf breakfast to late night.
A casual Jax Beach breakfast and lunch counter with separate weekday and weekend kids breakfast sections. It works after an early beach morning because the menu understands that children may want breakfast long after the adults have moved on.
A long-running Marsh Landing counter with a separate kids menu and a play area reported by Visit Jacksonville. This is the beach-side choice when the children need something to do before the food arrives.
The beach location of the family-owned sports brewery, inside the old Terry's Country Store. It keeps the same useful family formula: a scratch kitchen, kids food, games, and room to shoot baskets instead of asking children to sit still.
Baja tacos in a loud, sprawling room off Beach Boulevard. Big enough and loose enough that nobody notices a toddler, which is the actual reason families keep picking it.
